"The Water Lake Rat is responsible for surveying the Spiritual Fields; the Second-stage Spirit Worm, you focus wholeheartedly on improving the quality of the Spirit Vein, work well together."

Xu Ping didn't notice the individual thoughts of the two demon beasts, merely gave a simple instruction.

"Spirit Worm, go down into the Spirit Vein underground and devote yourself fully to enhancing the quality of the Spirit Vein."

After the introductions were complete, Xu Ping directed his gaze to the Second-stage Spirit Worm and gave instructions.

The Second-stage Spirit Worm nodded hastily, then slowly wriggled its body towards a vacant area.

Immediately, its demonic power surged, and its body emitted a strong ghostly green light, with fine scales rubbing against each other, producing a rustling sound.

In an instant, it seemed to ignore the solid ground, burrowing straight into the Thousand Leaves Mountain.

Witnessing this scene, Xu Ping quickly executed a spell, activating the Earth Master's Gaze.

Relying on the sensing from the Divine Sense imprint, coupled with the observations from the Earth Master's Gaze, he saw the Second-stage Spirit Worm burrow near the Thousand Leaves Mountain.

Then, it began to shuttle back and forth around the Spirit Vein, making the soil surrounding the Spirit Vein loose.

With the loosening of the soil around the Spirit Vein, the flow of Spiritual Qi underground became increasingly smooth, even the circulation of Spiritual Qi on the Thousand Leaves Mountain became freer.

"Not bad."

Xu Ping's eyes, under the Earth Master's Gaze, sparkled as he sensed the changes in the Spiritual Qi flow on the Thousand Leaves Mountain, nodding with satisfaction.

This efficiency value is definitely much better than a group of First Rank Spirit Worms.

At this rate, the process of upgrading the Spirit Vein of the Thousand Leaves Mountain to a Quasi-Tier Three Spirit Vein should accelerate considerably.

The Water Lake Rat, seeing Xu Ping's expression, suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

Although it couldn't see exactly what the Second-stage Spirit Worm was doing, it was clearly doing an excellent job.

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely ensure all Spirit Medicines and Spirit Plants in the Thousand Leaves Mountain are well attended to."

The Water Lake Rat puffed out its chest, defiantly declared.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping deactivated the Earth Master's Gaze and turned his gaze towards the Water Lake Rat.

Instantly, the slight smile on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by a cold indifference:

"Have you been slacking off in your cultivation lately?"

Seeing Xu Ping's sudden change of demeanor, the expression on the Water Lake Rat's face froze instantly.

What's happening?

Could it be that after acquiring a new Spirit Pet, the master is starting to dislike his old Spirit Pet?

The Water Lake Rat hurriedly expressed its attitude: "Master, definitely not, I've always been diligently and painstakingly cultivating!"

"Really?"

Xu Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, a scrutinizing look in his gaze.

"I really..."

The Water Lake Rat tried to argue through Divine Sense telepathy, but before it could finish, Xu Ping interrupted mercilessly.

"No problem, from now on, I will thoroughly cultivate you."

A mysterious smile appeared on Xu Ping's face, his tone laced with deeper meaning.

"Cultivate me?"

"Gulp!"

A sudden panic gripped the Water Lake Rat, it swallowed nervously.

It had seen this demeanor of the master before!!

"Ma...Master, there's no need, I promise I will cultivate earnestly in the future!" The Water Lake Rat pleaded woefully.

However, Xu Ping's attitude was resolute, showing no signs of wavering: "This is for your own good, it's decided."

'Finished!'

'Seems like having a new Spirit Pet really made him despise the old one!'

The Water Lake Rat lamented inwardly, knowing it couldn't avoid the situation this time.

"Master, how do you plan to cultivate me?"

The Water Lake Rat, feeling conflicted, put on a pitiful look, cautiously asked.

"Don't worry, there'll be no harm." Xu Ping's mouth curled up into a slightly cruel arc.

As the words fell, he directly pulled out a Demon Core that emanated robust Spiritual Power waves from the storage pouch.

"Open your mouth!" Xu Ping commanded.

"Demon Core?"

"Could it be that this is actually a good thing?"

Seeing this, the Water Lake Rat's eyes lit up instantly, and swiftly opened its small mouse mouth.

Xu Ping flicked his finger lightly, and the Demon Core transformed into a streak of light, directly entering the Water Lake Rat's mouth.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Gulp," the Water Lake Rat swallowed the Demon Core, immediately feeling the vast power erupting continuously from within.

In an instant, its face was filled with a fawning, ingratiating smile.

"It's just a small matter, I had long promised to thoroughly cultivate you."

Xu Ping watched the Water Lake Rat with an enigmatic smile, leisurely said, "To allow you to fully absorb the medicinal power of the Demon Core, while also stabilizing your own foundation, I've decided to spar with you for a quarter-hour every day."

"Every day... fight me!!!"

Upon hearing this, the Water Lake Rat's eyeballs almost popped out in shock.

It knew the master's strength could only be described as unfathomable.

Fighting with the master, isn't this seeking death?

Would spitting out the Demon Core now still be in time?

However, before the Water Lake Rat could respond, Xu Ping was already making a move.

"Watch the strike!"

Xu Ping snorted coldly, the mana in his Dantian surging like roaring waves, and then suddenly struck out with a palm.

Instantly, dazzling light erupted in the void, a colossal mana hand appeared out of thin air, carrying a mountain-crushing momentum, fiercely sweeping towards the Water Lake Rat.

"They're going to kill the Rat!!"

The Water Lake Rat felt the terrifying power contained within the mana hand, its eyes involuntarily flashed with a hint of panic.

The Water Lake Rat's reaction was justified.

It should be known that the liquid mana in Xu Ping's Dantian, whether in quantity or quality, far exceeded that of a typical Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator.
